On July 4th 1942 the first American bombing raid took place in occupied Europe, 12 Boston bombers in RAF colors, half of them manned by American Personnel, took off to attack a JG 1 field in the Netherlands. Two of the American manned Boston’s and one RAF failed to return. The sight of American Aircraft over their airfields would soon be a thing the German Luftwaffe would be accustomed too. At this time in the war the RAF was still struggling against the FW190. Only a few weeks later after the attack the Spitfire Mk IX would meet the FW190 in combat.
